I have a new Curt trailer hitch and although is just a bolt on device it needs some parts of the vehicle loosened in order to mount, which I am unable to do. For reference it is to be mounted to a Hyundai Palisade.
Anyone know of a local person or small business that will mount this hitch -- the online do-it-yourself estimate is about an hour.

Any local shop would do it for you and you would have a warranty should something fail, including the Hyundai dealer most likely. Question, where did you get the hitch from?

Hitch came from E-Trailer.

You may have some problems since you got it somewhere else. Call around.

Spent a long time calling around yesterday and no luck ! If I lived in Washington/Oregon I would have many good options, probably because of their outdoor lifestyle.
C'est Ca !

No it's probably because you bought the hitch online to save a few bucks. Like bringing your own burger to a restaurant and asking them to cook it for you. You took their profit margin out from underneath them.

I have never used Fruitland Park Trailers (https://www.yourfruitlandparktrailers.com/), but I'd give them a call.

I installed my hitch bought from Etrailer on my Mazda 3 last week . Not exactly easy since I don't have a lift so had to lay on the ground but technically not challenging at all.

Try Hilton auto repair.
